    OKC are very long and athletic at each position. That is causing some problems for GS, IMO

    I wouldn't mind either. I like both those guys. It's tough watching Curry struggle like this though, I like the Warriors too.

    One of the more underrated parts of all this is Roberson. He's doing a great job creating problems by cutting and moving around and not just standing at the three point line along with setting screens. His defense as usual has been stellar, but he's made himself more of a threat offensively then he ever has.

    They're fighting the Death Lineup with size. Most teams can't do it, but the Thunder seem to have caught lightning in a bottle.

    I also think that Kerr is being out-coached for what it's worth. Donavan is doing a great job of exploiting weaknesses and playing to strengths.

    I've never seen a team this good be absolutely shell shocked. Warriors look like a joke and Kerr or anyone else isn't stopping the bleeding. Warriors are a under 2 quarters away from this series being over. Curry looks stunned, isn't doing anything, OKC wants this way more, they're way more physical. Maybe all those old dudes were somewhat right about Curry not being as good in more physical eras if this is how he responds to something like this. Very disappointing so far.

    yeah, most teams that go big sacrifice scoring and athleticism, okc basically does neither. i think i posted prior to this series that them not being a top defensive team has always surprised me. turns out they were just lazy?

    mavs' 67-win team that lost to GS. sometimes you run into a really bad matchup. i still refuse to believe that GS is going to just roll over in this game or this series, though. they're too talented and have played much better ball than this, regardless of what okc's doing.

    I agree, I'm not counting the Warriors out yet, but this is very a very disappointing showing so far. And yes, a 67 win Mavs team is an upset, but this is "the greatest regular season team of all time" here, and the defending champs, those Mavs weren't. IF the Warriors come back to win this game, I think they win the series in 7 though.
